A sermon of George Everard about freedom. He states that in the life of a Christian there is freedom and yet there are bonds, as explained by the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 7. He was speaking to a church where some were free, and others under the yoke of slavery, reminding them of their position as disciples of Christ, and showing how it lifts them up above the distinction that existed in their temporal condition.
